Sidharth Malhotra, who plays Sidharth in Mission Majnu, praised Alia Bhatt’s Raazi as a “excellent picture” and welcomed comparisons to be made between the two movies.
In a recent interview, actor Siddharth Malhotra addressed the comparisons made between his most recent film, Mission Majnu, and Alia Bhatt’s Meghna Gulzar-helmed Raazi (2018). Sidharth described the Raazi as a “excellent picture” and claimed that there is no “alarming” similarity between the two films. Years ago, there were rumours that Alia and Sidharth were dating. Sidharth is rumoured to be getting married to Kiara Advani shortly, while she is currently married to Ranbir Kapoor.
In an interview with Film Companion, Sidharth commented on Mission Majnu and stated, “It is never a bad thing if people are attempting to discover a reference point for a film. Raazi is an excellent movie. The similarity doesn’t seem to be as concerning as it may be. Yes, the surroundings that are witnessing the teaser may resemble each other.
In the movie Mission Majnu, Sidharth plays an R&AW operative tasked with carrying out one of India’s “deadliest covert missions” while posing as a Pakistani citizen. Rashmika Mandanna appears in the movie as well. Some people linked the plot of the movie to Raazi, which starred Alia and Vicky Kaushal, after the teaser for it debuted earlier this month. Alia portrayed Sehmat, an Indian spy who wed a Pakistani Army officer, in that movie.

Sidharth also made an educated guess as to why Mission Manju and Raazi have been compared by the audience. He remarked, “It is in the same decade (1970s), has comparable features, but I think the experience is absolutely different. After Mission Majnu’s January 20 release date, once people have seen the movie, it is only right to speak with them… When the movie is released and we can debate it, I believe the comparison is fair, and our conversation will be better for it. It is never a negative thing to be compared to a successful movie.
